Katatonia Easter Egg Included In Skyrim Video Game

Katatonia has checked in with the following announcement about an Easter egg in the newly released "Skyrim" video game containing references to the band:

"Now why would we post a link to a video game? Well, read on, this is quite amusing....

"During the quest Darkness Returns, you can recover Nystrom's Journal, which is a reference to Anders Nystrom, guitarist and songwriter from Swedish heavy metal band Katatonia.

"The terms in the last paragraph: 'He also mumbled some nonsensical phrases like 'night is the new day' and how he was the 'ghost of the sun.' I have no idea what these cryptic sentiments mean, but hopefully during tomorrow's ritual, Anders and I will put everything we've learned to the test.' are references to multiple Katatonia albums and songs - the most obvious being the album Night is the New Day and the song 'Ghost of the Sun' from the album Viva Emptiness.

"When completing this quest, the player jumps into a hole. In the hole is a skeleton containing 'Ander's Note.'"
